Quick clarification: For the candle trick, the reason the water actually flows inside is because the oxygen on the inside of the bottle is used up, thus reducing the air Pressure!

Hi Mrwhosethebossđ Yes that would be great to see your team in your videos!
Yep
Yooo
Yes
Plz answer me your instagram
The fact that arun tapes led light bar on his kitchen floor just to create an atmosphere shows how much work he put in.
YES That was so cool to see, and so inspiring for other creators!!
you would too if you earned as much as him
TIMESTAMPS!?

Arun is always one step ahead compared to other youtubers. He not only tries all these tiktok hacks, but teaches us what the thing actually is or how it works. Top notch mate
This also means you can find new ways to get the same effect because he explains it.
Ok bri'ish cat

âYou out da blue need to use da bathroomâ got me crying of laughter

4:02 THE BATHROOM đ
thats bo burnam - 5 years
you should really listen to it it is okay but not all about a bathroom
For the hair dye to work you need to either use bleaching before blue dye, or use a dye that includes a lot of bleaching (which usually works less well).
Exactly. Blue doesn't show up on black.
What he did shouldn't even count!
For a video pretty much talking about how stupid people can be he should have known that (and I'm sure he did)... No sane person would believe you could dye black hair straight away...
@@radfoo72 fr
@@snig88 he's probably never worked with or had to worry about hair dye before considering how much he didn't want to lose his black hair so I don't blame him tbh but it was kind of silly
For the light bulb hack one of the batteries was in the wrong orientation.
I am an Irishman seeing potatoes being wasted almost gave me a stroke
The guy with the I need the bathroom song on tiktok is the best đđ
0:45 That toothpaste is magical. It not only repairs the broken screen but even makes the phone rectangular all of a sudden.
tru lol
Sherlock! Is that you?
Nice Catch
It makes the phone change brands :0
Ooh man, àČšàČźàČžàłàČàČŸàČ°
8:08 That is very, VERY dangerous. The only thing keeping the heating elements from melting and catching fire is the flow of cool air. If your hair dryer is old and doesn't have a safety system, it can burn down your house.
There are many hair dryers in which you can select cold air flow (no heating element on) - in that case it can work
You sound like you burned your house down trying to do TikTok life hacks
@@leakd hahahhahađ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I doubt anyone has a hair dryer without that safety system. It is illegal for them to be produced without them and this has been the standard for decades. It's necessary because hair dryers will shut down even when using them normally for too long, which is something I've had to deal with that issue when using them in projects to speed up something drying. The closer you hold the hair dryer to the thing you're trying to dry, the faster it will overheat and shut down. The reason is that air has to flow from one end to another. The effect is the same whether you block it from the front or block it from the back.

I just thought of a way to use this to listen to music, and change the song without touching your phone, like when your in the shower
Basically make it to where when you say like next song or next video etc, it presses the next video button
I love how Arun was concered for his hair and excited for the last experiment.
Right after it worked his tears of joy turned into real tears!đ€Ł
The screenshot one when you change your rubbish circle to a perfect one, works with other shapes too (squares, triangles etc), but gets confused a bit when you go beyond a five-sided shape. Not sure how useful it actually is in day-to-day life but neat nonetheless!
It's good on the iPad Notes app for making quick diagrams, and for straight lines too
You can make perfect arrows too
I was just about to type in the same comment đđđŒ
You can also make a star with it!

Arun got vectored by him
13:27 i love it when british people say this
Why? What is so interesting about âoh dear godâ and the fact us brits say it is good
9:40 Reminds me, when I worked at Starbucks we would heat milk jugs up with the steaming wand on the espresso machine to make squishing the jugs much easier. Legitimately quite useful.
Also that RAM one was brilliant đ€Ł
11:30 when u realize alcohol is flammable đ
Only above concentrations of ~40%
9:07 Correcting a few stuff here.
First of all having the inside hotter would only make the pressure inside higher.
Secondly, that happens because fire needs oxygen to continuously burn as the oxygen use up the pressure decreases, pulling in the water around it to about 20% of he volume since that's how much oxygen in the bottle and atmosphere.
He didn't know that people with knowledge of what is happening are here..
He completely made up all science explanations ...
Ig that's why he's a CZcamsr đ đ đ
That is what i just said you are right congratsđ
@@Summer-gw9xf CO2 is also more dense than O2 which will also free up space in the bottle for water (and the water from the reaction will also help). You also see that water is already being sucked up before the flame dies
@@Tommienio the CO2 produced won't change volume by much cause carbon in in solid form and it will be added to O2 .CO2 and O2 occupies same amount of space causing CO2 to be more denser which doesn't result in water rising. The reason for water rising is due to paraffin binging burnt. Paraffin in carbohydrates like higher form of CnHm. And reaction is like CnHm + O2 --> CO2 + H2O. Resulting in more water formation. And if u let it cool after the O2 is used the volume of air decreases, increasing the water level again.
You science people up there, shut the fuk up... we here for some entertainment stuff not for for your science lesson... go to universities, leave us. Jezzz
The bread and butter one was SO SATISFYING and I loved it. It made my mouth water too. I love u for doing that Arun!
I like how you logically explain the flaws in some of these.
We did the candle experiment in school but it doesn't explode like that tik tok claims
12:21 He literally puts in the Konami code on the claw machine lol
I like your profile pic
that's literally what i thought
12:48 Vector lmao! OH YEAH! You just got vectored!!!
We need more of Josh he's so funnyđđđđ
For the light bulb, Iâm not sure if this is the problem, but you had the middle battery facing the wrong way
10:30 lol
bro cant get food
f
About the battery light bulb one: In the first clip, they connected positive terminals of the batteries to both positive and negative terminal of the light bulb, which means, there's no way for electricity to flow. In the 2nd clip, they've connected the terminals right(except for the 2 positive terminals touching together, that doesn't do anything in this case), but there's still no closed circuit, They'd have to connect the free terminals together to close the circuit (and turn the bottom battery around, so the positive terminal touches the negative terminal). So basically just running the batteries in serial connection to increase voltage to a higher amount. I've made a light bulb run on 60V from serially connected 9V batteries.
An other problem with this is that batteries supply DC current and light bulbs use AC
@@Tommienio depends on the bulb in these modern times. A normal incandescent bulb will work with either AC or DC as it is just electricity going through a filament and it doesn't matter if the electricity is alternating or not. An LED bulb on the other hand is designed to be used with AC and probably won't work with DC.
It's designed to work with ac being mains powered. While the led itself is dc there will be a bridge rectifier in it.
i needed someone to say this. The lightbulbs and battery were a open circuit in the video too
@@Tommienio There's full bridge rectifier inside so it works both AC and DC.
âWhy do you need to the bathroomâđđđ
in the 5:20 moment you showed like that apple fixes you circle in a screenshot drawing, and i checked it and it actually woeks with any other shape! worth a try!
13:36 Did he just say âNein!â
Nein he didnt
He one said "Dat ich nicht gud"
Das ist nicht gut deutch...
@@Etriland Still close enough though!
@@pilothyper true
For the light bulb trick at 7:10, even if the voltage was right it wouldn't turn on because the circuit is not closed. It's basically an open breaker
Also there are low voltage light bulbs available like those in old flashlights. They can be powered with 3V. Still, great content ;)
Its would work trust me we teach that here in Belgium also the experiment the candle experiment worked because the oxygen in the bottle have been absorbed by the fire , so basically the water takes the percentage of the oxygen that was in the bottle
The polarity was not the same for the hack and the test.
Does nobody know the difference between AC and DC current?
Yeah he didn't even do it correctlyđ
I love how in the left corner the whole time there's a picture of him with blue hair. You don't even need to watch to find out
8:18 the hairdryer was sparking because it needs the airflow to cool down the heating element and prevent it from melting, restricting that airflow resulted in that heating element melting and since the heating element is also resistor limiting current to the motor in the hair dryer it stopped working completly.
8:15 - the hairdryer isn't broken, it's just a fail safe that shuts down the dryer if its airflow is poor or it gets too hot. The spark is normal when safety engages, leave it for a few minutes and it will work again.
u dym cid
@@EchaOmega well that idea is dumb as hell and that's why safety like this is built in any modern hairdryer so even dumb people won't hurt themselves.
Definetley want to see more of the team in your videos... If Arun on his own is great then the team would surely be entertaining
His hair is not blue you are leaving fake comments
The light bulb and battery one doesn't work because the circuits are not closed/connected, the voltage issue is secondary to that, but without a closed circuit, the electric field can't extend and flow. Additionally, even if they were connected, you had all of the positive ends of the batteries in contact with the light bulb so the batteries orientations would have prevented the circuit from being closed, so either the batteries touching the bottom would need to be flipped or both the batteries on the sides. Regardless, still not enough voltage.
I think they test beforehand to make sure it's almost exactly half but one over so he gets the hair and the viewer gets the reward for staying tuned
9:57 "that's what she said" guess no one else noticed, that's why the reply rte is so low there
I noticed it
Hair dye doesnt really dye dark hair that well so you need to blonde/bleach the hair first but anyway, great video!
5:45 It actually brings you to a Rick Roll... My man lost the opportunity to Rick Roll a lot of people! đ
6:23 well it has noting to do with the atmospheric pressure as it doesn't depends on the surface area. The real concept behind it is the viscose force or the air drag with depends on the area.
7:13 it doesn't work because the circuit is not closed in the first place. Even if we use 220V ac and connects its one terminal, it still wont work
You never seem to disappoint. Thank you for lightening my day

This is what sets Arun apart from the rest of the crowd. He doesn't just do a thing and shows it working or not working. He explains why it works or if something doesn't work, explains why it doesn't or how it has potential to work if done a bit different. Top notch content.
11:22 his home is like a palace
Don't fall for days cam
At 5:48, the ruler, the reason why the ruler doesn't move is because of Inertia from the paper,. It's a really cool physics experiment.
11:11 *"...all the lights on and than- WHOA!"*
8:54 I got life insurance ad here đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Nah letâs do it here
Sameeee
i got " Want it? Swiggy it!"
I got a Ford ad.
Same
At 7:20 the bulb doesn't work because it is not a closed circuit. doesn't matter how much voltage they provide, current will not flow
Technically speaking, a high enough voltage potential would cause the air to ionise and close the circuit, but that would be in the 100s of kVs and also destroy the bulb, not to mention needing not batteries but a proper high voltage power supply , but you're spot on with the explanation
Also the tiktok shows positive to positive

@@Op37373 đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
he is the nerd from minons!!!!
7:11 This reason for why it doesn't work is not wrong, but it's definitely not the main one.
The circuit is just not completed, so there is no electricity flowing. To complete it you'd need to connect the negative poles of the batteries to the light bulb as well.
Why is no one talking about this?
Bro just became a scientist 6:19đ
for the ruler trick, using a wooden one, and using your hand to punch it as hard as possible, it can snap in some instances. its because its spread force alone the paper.
The spark inside the hair dryer was the thermal switch stopping the whole case from melting because of restricted airflow. It should come back on in a few minutes
I thought it was because he was vacuuming up liquid (which the mask isn't going to catch all of) right into the motor...
Unless it's the old kind that was made from ceramic.
If you watch the spark happen frame by frame, you can see pretty clearly that it was edited in lmao
@@TheWickkit naw the worst liquid would do to the motor is cause corrosion over time but brushed motors are pretty tough
@@shno_deela6986 they certainly can be, the only reason I've ever seen one spark before was when the brushes were going out and I just figured the odds of that on his hair dryer were pretty slim but I guess, in reference to what that other person mentioned, maybe the restricted air flow would be a factor...? I'm sorry but I really don't think the sparks were edited in, that is just pointless.
11:10 everyone has done that at least once
4:01"Next. And it will scroll for you. The poo in the bathroom"
2:28 imagine your fried egg flies into your roofđ
I like how this series is just a way to have Arun try different things to do with his hair and monetize it đ
Fake fake fake his hair is not blue fake comment
@@michaelw1669 wtf? Did you mean?
Someone had to say it... The reason at 7:09 isn't completely correct... as the 1.5V potential difference has nothing to do with the trick not working...
It's simply because the circuit is actually open.. so no actual current flows through the lamp. :)
0:46 lmao you can literally see the shape of the phone changing from curved corners to right angled corners
When cat comes up to the table Arun smileđ€đ
6:28 this one explanation now makes me really want to see Arun do a crash course series
9:23 I knew about this one. I worked at Starbucks for about 6 years. We used to steam the milk jugs with our steam wand so that we could crunch them up quickly and make more room in our recycling bin. Itâs astonishing how small they can get đ
YOU ARE ACTUALLY THE BEST TECH CHANNEL! Keep up the engaging and entertaining content! How did you make the part at 2:26 where the fried egg flies off screen like a "Star Wars Plane"?
video editing
You're supposed to strip the color out of your hair before you use that kind of hair dye. I used to use it all the time when I was younger. There is/was a product called seventh stage I used to use to strip all of the pigment out of my hair before putting the blue gel dye in. Since the bright colors like this usually only come in a one-part semi-permanent dye they generally do not have the same developer and other ingredients that let it really chemically replace your current hair color. So you have got to get rid of the current color first and start with it as light as you possibly can. On top of bleaching or stripping your hair first, It's also best if your hair is as dried out as possible when you put the gel dye in (the blue stuff) And then you always want to let it sit for a little bit longer than the bottle says, and then without rinsing you add conditioner first and a lot of conditioner run that through and then rinse lightly WITHOUT ANY SHAMPOO AT ALL and dry it thoroughly with a towel that you don't care about because it will shed some dye for the first few times you wash your hair. That's just how those semi-permanent dyes are. It will also shed a little bit anytime you use hairspray or any alcohol based hair product or anything particularly acidic or corrosive or that "opens up" your hair (kinda like how heat opens up your pours) a lot... Enjoy. Love you guys. Kay byeeeeeeiiiiiiii
11:13
Arun: *Clearly spills wine
Also Arun: "It evaporated"
He was saying the alcohol would evaporate.
13:21 Mickey!! đ€Ł
Bro went full British at 6:55
The candle trick is just the candles fire taking air minimizing air pressure, which causes the atmosphere to higher the pressure and therefore creating a suction force trying to pull in air, but thereâs only water so water goes in
For the squiggle hack, it also corrects triangles and squares if you draw them and hold as well. Also a straight line if u were underlining something.
Hearts and some other shapes work as well
Fun fact :the combination at 12:25 is literally the konami codeđ
4:01 I got an add the moment you said nextđ€Ł
you didnt do the lightbulb trick the same as the tic tok you messed the battery placementïŁżïŁżïŁżïŁżïŁżïŁżïŁżïŁżïŁżïŁżïŁż
Still its 6 volts, not gonna power anything like a 230v lightbulb
10:30 I love how he just walks in, sees Arun doing a Tiktok lifehack, and just dips
The marker trick is kinda true. Yellow and green highlighters are very visible under blue filtered light (much more so than in regular light) which stage technicians use to for example make notes behind the stage where we can only have a little bit of blue light. Yellow light would often be visible to the audience. It's a bit different between different highlighters though how well you can see them, and I have never tried diluting one...
Quick insight:
If you would have lightened your hair first before you applied the blue hair dye, You would have had blue hair like the illustration of the color that's on the box!
Just thought you'd like to know.
The thing about coloring your hair is you need it to be bleached blonde, in order for the color to pop out. It's like adding blue to a black can of paint it's never gonna work. And for the color to pop out more you need to be really blond, like Targaryen white hair blond.
7:09 for the bulb to light you need to complete the circuit. even you have batteries totaling 230v, the bulb will still not light without a complete circuit.
can you tell me what other parts it needs to become a complete circuit?
and it still would not light because the bulb needs AC current and batteries are DC
@@pratishthabajracharya7 You need negative/positive on one side, and the opposite on the other
@@pratishthabajracharya7 It needs one end of the circuit connected to the bottom pointy part and the other end connected to the side of the part screws into the outlet. So you would need a wire connecting the bottom batteries to one of the side batteries.
@@leonkolaric5158 it would still work. That is a led bulb it seems and they rectify the 230V ac and turns it into DC internally anyways. And if it is a incadecent bulb it doesn't matter, they light up anyways
the paper also flexes back to the original position
9:05 Good explanation but the real reason is because fire needs air and as the fire uses the air, the rest of the bottle needs to be filled with something so the water makes its way up to fill the gap
The only CZcams Tech Channel which never disappoints... Love your content âšâš
Yeah truly
His hair is not blue fake comment!
Aaaww he didnât like your comment đą
Marques Brownlee enters the chat
12:41 some actually have codes to check if they work but itâs not like that
The reason why the light bulb didn't work is because one of the batteries was facing the wrong way
7:00 you canât power something with batteries without completing the circuit. Every piece of this circuit was left open đ
Amazing to see how far you've come....I think I speak for a lot of us when I say you're the greatest tech CZcamsr.
I want 100 đ
8:03 the reason it failed was because you jammed the fan, you're not supposed to use 99%+ airtight matter, use something like a thin piece of paper, or a sock
But the TikTok said use a mask
The cat saying "NO NO NO NO" got me laughing hard
I tried the hack. Where are you circle some thing on your iPhone after taking a screenshot. It turns out that any shape you make almost it will mimic and correct the shape. I just tried it with a star a square a sort of cloud shape, a circle and a triangle. My grandson and I are excited for you to try it!
9:05
I think that happens not because the heat decreases the air pressure, its because the fire while burning uses up the oxygen hence decreasing the air pressure.
(in fact, heat would INCREASE the air pressure because it makes the air inside expand)
Itâs a mixture of both
Good editing 2:28
The scene with the ruler and the paper....you had no shoes on đ
That thing with using voice control to swipe up is pretty cool, except youâre not gonna be able to watch anything with the person saying ânextâ

Torch vs invisible writing: real
The correction of the circle is called snap to shape
For the candle TikTok, we did a similar experiment in science class. It was boiling water in a 12oz can(small amount) making the can fill with steam replacing the cool oxygen. Then we dunked the van into cold water(opening first) which makes the water vapor holding up the can condense therefore making the can collapse on itself and crush. It was really cool but I had to wait like 15 min for the water to start steaming on a hot plate
Oh man that butter trick is hilarious. Really surprised that actually works as well as it does. Definitely gotta try that next time I'm hammered at the local diner eating pancakes at 3am. I feel that scenario is what that trick was destined for lmao.
